TRTC360 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 my stinger showes 0.3 more than the actual voltmeter ... :| you can calibrate it to more accurate volt meters man, there's a little dial insides that you turn with a small flathead screw driver to adjust it. edit: ninja'd '93 Firebird Formula V8 H/U- Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X395 Mids/Highs Amp- Hifonics ZXI80.4 Wiring-KNU RCA's, Speaker Wire, And Two Runs Of Trystar 1/0 G34 Red Top and a 180amp Ford Alternator www.youtube.com/TRTC360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knubs Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 don't get the xscorpion ones. that all i have to say... i ordered two and they turned out to be huge with a tiny display and the screens fall off right after opening. i opened mine, laughed, and then returned and got some stinger meters.

WastedTalent Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I know you're on a budget and said inexpensive, but I'd recommend Steve's vm1. It's sold out currently but he has placed an order for 500 more. Not sure when he'll get them. But his is more accurate, faster responses, etc. How everyone said some need re-calibrated and whatnot, Steve's doesn't. And why not support the owner of this site who helps us with his thoughts and opinions, along with much much more? Sheena = pedobear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptorman Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 We didn't say they needed recalibrated. They need calibrated once. And my Audiotechnix one didn't even need calibrated at all because they're set at 14.4v right out of the box, which is what my car charges at cold.Not bashing the VM-1, it's solid, and I prefer it over my audio technix one. But, I've got a highschool-kid budget. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

kirill007 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 The VM-1 isn't like any other voltmeter, it's even faster then a dmm. If you have problems it is possible that you won't be able to see it with a dmm and certainly not with a stinger, but you will be able to see it on the VM-1. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
